One of the most interesting social events
that has taken place in this city for number
of years was the marriage on Tuesday last OF
Miss Mary L. Mills, daughter of the late DR..
Bernard Mills, and Mr.. Charles Ii. Wander
ford, one of the editors Of ''THE DEMOCRATIC
ADVOCATE" The marriage ceremony was
performed by Rev. S. B. Pond, rector of As
censon Protestant Episcopal Church. Long
before the appointed hour the church was
thronged by the friends of the young lady and
gentleman, whose wedding bells made music
for all who know them. As they waited the
arrival of the bridal party, the grand organ
under the skilful hands of Miss Maggie Nc
Kellip, filled the house with sweetest melody
Promptly at the time appointed MIR. Wander
ford, with his best man, Mr.. William ID.
Thomas, of the Westminster Bar, entered by
the door at the right of the altar and took
their places to the left The bride, upon the
arm of her brother, Mr.. John 5. Mills, OF
Washington, d. c., preceded by the ushers,
Messrs. j. Gore Mills, brother of the bride,
and Mr.. Lynn r. Meekins, of the Baltimore
american, advanced to the altar steps where
they were met by the groom. In few mo-
ments the impressive ceremony had been
performed, and Mr.. and Mrs. Vandertord lett
the church followed by the good wishes and
PRAYERS of their many friends for their hap
piness and prosperity. 1t is safe to say that
none were more interested and pleased, than
were the members of ''the Sunday School
Glass; of which the bride was one OF the
teachers.
The bride was attired in handsome brown
travelling suit and carried large bouquet OF
MarechaI Neil roses. The presents received
by the bride were numerous and handsome.
After the ceremony Mr.. and Mrs. Wander
ford started to make short visit to New
York and other northern cities.
On Monday night Mr.. Vanderford bade
farewell to his bachelorhood, and handsome
ly entertained number of his gentlemen
friends at the City Hotel. The table, arrang-
ed in the form of I, fairly groaned under
the good things supplied by ''mine host
Rahter A number of good speeches were
made, and the company did not break up till
a late hour. Among the guests present were

Browning Anniversary.

The twentieth anniversary of the Browning
Literary Society, of Western Maryland Col
lege, was held in ''Smith Hail. on Thanks
giving night. The large auditorium was
crowded, notwithstanding the inclemency of
the evening, every seat being occupied and a
number compelled to stand during the exer-
cises. The Browning entertainments are al
ways good, and consequently very popular,
and the programme of Thursday night was an
exceptionally good one. The exercises con-
sisted of the Presidents address by Miss
Laura B. Taylor; vocal duett, "From Our
Merry Swiss Home," by Misses George
Franklin, of Westminster, and Mamie Heyde,
of Baltimore city. The anniversary essay by
Miss Fannie Grove, of Hagerstown, was very
fine. The subject First Climb the Hill,
then view the Landscape was treated in a
mastery manner. One of the most interest
ing features of the programme were the four
pictures from Kate Greenaway, participated in
by Misses Mamie Gait, Lille Woodward,
Clara, Miriam and Tommy Lewis, in the
quaint dresses ard poke bonnets of fifty years
ago. The Infantry Drill, by fourteen young
ladies, in nurses caps and aprons, wheeling
miniature carriages and carrying baby dolls,
was very amusing and ELECTED hearty ap-
plause. The first part, of the programme
closed with piano duett by Misses Maggie
Stem and Lizzie Nusbaum.
An amusing farce, Ladies at Home was
well rendered by Misses Fannie Grove, of
Hagerstown, Carrie Mourer, of Westminster,
Lena Gore, of Dorchester county, Laura
Taylor, of Waverly, Nd, Mollie Shriver,. OF
Westminster, Hilda Stem, of Frederick
county, Lizzie Nusbaum and Minerva Utz, ot
Westminster. Miss Annie Shriver rendered
in fine style, Krueger's ''Harp Eolienne. -
The entertainment concluded with finely
rendered chorus by fourteen young ladies rep
resenting Sun Flowers, and entitled the "Sun
Flower Chorus" The entertainment was
one of the best ever given by the Society, and
the exercises were frequently applauded. A
number of strangers and friends of the stu
dents were in the audience.
